A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 5 Find A Job And A Wife

to the ground and said, “Get Killian to come here himself if he wants to tear down my house. Now, get lost!” Letting out a sigh of relief, Python and the other thugs supported each other and hurried away from the Larkin residence. Tears streamed down Quiana’s cheeks as she said to Finnegan, “Quickly pack up and leave. If Killian finds out that you’re back, he will certainly come for you.” “Mom, I’m not going to leave. I don’t care if Killian comes here. It’s time for us to settle some scores anyway!” Needless to say, Quiana did not want her son, who had finally returned home, to leave again. Wiping her tears, she said, “Let’s forget about the compensation for the relocation. Maybe Killian will forgive you for injuring him back then if we do that.” Both Desmond and Rhiannon sighed and nodded in agreement. Finnegan knew that it wouldn’t be easy to convince his parents, as they were honest people who were conventional in their thinking. He could only comfort them by saying, “Mom, Dad, everything will be fine. Don’t worry.” With much persuasion, Desmond finally agreed to let Finnegan treat his leg after dinner, albeit somewhat reluctantly. Before starting the procedure, Finnegan performed acupuncture anesthesia on his father, rendering him immune to pain. Then, he used a technique written in Primordial Pharmacopoeia to reconnect the broken bones in the old man’s b*dy. After the bones were joined together again, the next step was to treat his damaged meridians. With the herbs delivered by Patrick, it would take at most a month for Desmond to completely regain his mobility. Quiana and Rhiannon, who were watching from the side, noticed a red glow emitting from Finnegan’s hand during the treatment process. Meanwhile, the parts of Desmond’s skin where Finnegan had touched had reddened. The area on his leg that was previously sunken was also bulging. Hope arose in the hearts of the two women when they saw that. Finnegan finally ended the procedure two hours later, drenched in sweat. He had successfully reconnected a portion of Desmond’s broken bones. While applying a herbal liquid medicine to Desmond’s b*dy, Finnegan said, “Dad, I will be able to fix all your broken bones after two more treatment sessions. When I get my hands on the other herbs, I will concoct a balm that aids in the growth of bone tissues. If you apply that balm, it will take you only ten days to stand up again. I’m confident that you won’t need more than a month to make a complete recovery.” Clearly feeling the difference in his b*dy, Desmond perked up as he replied, “Finny, did you really learn your skills from a medical expert? Can you really help me stand up again?” He had been pretending not to be bothered by his disability in front of his family, as he did not want to burden them. However, deep down, he had been desiring to stand up again. With a smile, Finnegan replied, “Dad, when have I ever lied to you?” “Okay, I will be looking forward to that day. If you manage to find a job and a wife as well, our family will be complete.” “Dad, Finn can easily open a clinic with his superior medical skills. As for getting a wife, I can help with that,” Rhiannon said playfully. Finnegan had indeed thought about opening a clinic upon his return. However, he had absolutely no intention of getting married yet. Without giving her son a chance to speak, Quiana asked in delight, “Rhia, who do you have in mind?” “She’s a senior of mine. I have mentioned Finn to her a couple of times, and she has expressed her interest in him. She even asked me to introduce him to her when he comes back. If Finn has no objections, I can arrange for them to meet this Saturday!” “I’m sure he won’t object to it,” Quiana replied happily at once. However, at the same time, she
